Sycophants are the twisted form of male angels who have been mutated by Corruption. These former angels now resemble reptilian demons. Though they retain their wings, they seem incapable of flight. Sycophants wield twin daggers and are capable of teleporting, making them challenging foes to combat. When they perish, they release a large, damaging electrical blast.

When entering Lostlight, if the player looks up, towards the rocky peaks, a Sycophant could be seen spying on Death throughout the main road. The creature seems to appear very briefly and only once in 3/4 places before the battle at the Crystal Spire.
